Eagles Legend Bill Bergey Dies at 79

Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame linebacker Bill Bergey has passed away at the age of 79 after a three-year battle with cancer. Bergey, who joined the Eagles in 1974 from the Cincinnati Bengals, quickly became a cornerstone of the team's defense. During his seven seasons with the Eagles, he was a five-time Pro Bowler and helped lead the team to their first Super Bowl appearance in 1981. Known for his resilience on and off the field, Bergey urged others to seek medical attention at the first sign of health issues. Following his NFL career, he contributed to the Eagles' community as a media analyst and frequent guest on sports programs. His death was announced by his son Jake Bergey, who commemorated his father as an exemplary figure both in football and family life.
